About Jim Novack

We used to live in San Francisco and for the last 12 years have been living in Madrid, Spain and we purchased our dream vacation home in Samaná to spend our summer vacations with our friends, but would like to make it available for other families that we are sure will enjoy it at other times! This last summer we spent 2 months there and had several visitors with kids that absolutely loved it. You should count on renting a 4x4 vehicle to visit the many beaches in the area, but that some of them have challenging access!

Jim Novack purchased this house in 2010

Why Jim Novack chose Samana

Samaná is still a perfect mixture of tropical paradise and civilized comforts, we have good friends in the Dominican Republic that recommended this luxury development for its quality, security and absolute perfect location to boat, fish and lounge on the virgin beaches of white powder and azure ocean water.

What makes this house unique

You have the whole range: lounge on the deck with ocean view, deep sea fishing, sailing, driving by 4x4 or boating to the nearby virgin beaches and dancing at the world-famous Café del Mar in the nearby marina.

King size beds (2) one of them has a pull out bed below for a child, Double Beds (2), Murphy Beds (1) This is a pull out bed under one of the king size beds, for a child or baby.

Fantastic quiet community

Fantastic off the beaten path location. Quiet safe place. This house worked out perfectly for our two families with teenagers but would also work for families with little kids. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Jim was incredibly easy to work with and always accessible by email. Martina was a wonderful help. Nothing better than waking up to some else making breakfast. Plenty of activities to do in the Samana area to keep us busy from discovering deserted beaches to the standard whale watching tours.

Great Samana scape and wonderful in-house service!

We had a blast enjoying the beauty of the Samana attractions and staying in this property had made this trip even more memorable with the convenient location and spacious design of the house.

Jim, the host, had kindly reminded us before arrival, the greatest amenities of the house, which is the wonderful service of Ms. Martina who catered us with so many Dominican dishes that my family still talking about the experience. This was definitely the highly of my entire staying in Dominican Republic.

I would've given this a 5 (or 6 star) rating if I hadn't had the inconvenience of Master BR's air conditioning unit.

BEAUTIFUL HOME AND SCENERY!!

I hope to cover as much as possible as I have in the past with other rentals.

We are from Miami and we were visiting some family in the Dominican Republic. We decided to escape the capital (Santo Domingo) and venture out to Samana (much better view and beaches if you ask me). We looked at a couple of rentals but the view from this villa caught my eye. I was really hoping not to be disappointed as this was such a last minute deal, I had no room for error.

The owner: Responded almost immediate after I sent him an email. that alone told me the kind of service I was to receive. He emailed me all local beaches, were to buy food for the weekend, personnel with whom we can coordinate for any extracurricular activities.. you covered all the bases Jim, thumbs way up!.

Price: I wont say how much, but family members who live there and regularly vacation there, were stunned!. well worth every cent! (cheaper than a room in Disney).

Home: Impeccable.. from the beautifully arranged modern/contemporary furniture, to the squeaky clean floors and bathrooms throughout the house. We were ecstatic! (specially the wife).

Pictures: Doesn't do this home any justice, I tried and tried but failed to capture the view this home has to offer, unbelievable!.

Location: Jim's Villa is perfectly located at the beginning of the street where there is a 5 car parking conveniently located next to the home for any visiting guests and family. Because the Villa is the first on the lot, you only have one neighbor to the right (total sweetheart) and no one on the left but views of mountains. We hit the jackpot as far as views are concerned. Villas her offer 180 degree views, maybe. but this Villa is one of few that offer a 270 degree view of the land!, truly amazing.

House Attendant: I wont call her a maid because Martina was family by the end of our short trip. We had breakfast early morning and after a day out on the beach, we had dinner waiting for us. We are from the states and not used to that kind of service so for us, Martina was an angel... and an AWESOME COOK!. She made us her prized Sancocho which was good enough for seconds and thirds!. Though she is included in the rental of the Villa, a well deserved tip goes along way in this industry, so we made sure she'd remember us for the next visit (wink wink).

Overall: This home made such an impression on my family that we all agreed to make this our vacation spot in Samana. Truly blessed for this experience.
